2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · AJ64 FVF

The 2015 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 89,499 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. The two failed entries logged on the same dates as the passes in January 2025 and January 2026 show no recorded defects, indicating administrative or documentation failures at the testing station rather than mechanical condition issues. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The record shows 66,392 miles at the January 2024 test, rising to 78,535 miles by 31 January 2025 and 89,499 miles by 9 January 2026. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year over the documented period, marginally above the 8,136 annual average implied by the odometer, suggesting consistent routine use rather than prolonged standing or neglect. The clean test history across this span implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, no recurring fault patterns emerge that would point to worsening wear. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, suspension arm condition, and underbody structural integrity, as MOT passes with no defects do not capture gradual consumable degradation between tests. The identical-mileage pass and fail pairs on both January 2025 and January 2026 warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failures were clerical and not linked to suppressed defect data. Otherwise, the documented record supports a sound mechanical baseline for purchase at 89,499 miles.
